Faithfulness
But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
2 THESSALONIANS 3:3 (CSB)
God is faithful. We can count on him.
Jonathan was loyal and faithful to David even though Jonathan probably knew that David could become king instead of him; instead of being jealous, he gave him important gifts and even saved his life. Watch the video below to learn more of God’s faithfulness!
Memory Verse:
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
